According to the latest data released by the motorcycle trade association in Spain (ANESDOR), the motorcycle market there was up by +9.28 percent (8,540 units) and is running at +18.64 percent for the first 11 months of the year (123,147 units).
In moped terms the Spanish market was +14.23 percent in November and is +7.34 percent for the year-to-date (14,605 units); in total PTW terms the market was 9.83 percent in November and is +17.15 percent for the year-to-date (137,752 units).
ANESDOR say that the market growth in Spain in 2015 had already exceeded the total 12-month market performance in 2014 after just 10-months of 2015 (110,396 motorcycle registrations in the full year 2014, 124,593 total PTW registrations).
Jose Maria Riano, the General Secretary of ANEDOR, has repeated his call for greater government support for the sector, especially in terms of VAT incentives and in licensing/driver permit costs, which he says would help address the issue of the aging bike park in Spain.
Honda lead the way in Spain in market share terms (20,403 units year-to-date), followed by Yamaha, Kymco, Piaggio and Suzuki. The top selling model in Spain so far this year is Kymco's Agility City 125, followed by their Super Dink 125 and Honda's SH 125.
